    This easy stuffed sweet potato recipe is so flavorful and refreshing! The best part of all is you can easily swap out the toppings. This black bean salad topping is going to really amplify the flavor overall.

    Sweet potatoes pair nicely with savory things. The creamy guacamole and colorful bean salsa make this dish unique and filling, yet it's so healthy. Plus you can whip up this dish in no time.

    What you'll need

    • Sweet Potatoes.
    • Guacamole. Use your favorite guaca recipe.
    • Black Beans. Use other kind of beans, if desired.
    • Corn. I used canned corn, but fresh corn could be used instead.
    • Tomatoes. I like using cherry, or grape tomatoes, because they pack more flavor.
    • Red onions.
    • Cilantro.
    • Lime Juice.
    • Spices. Just cumin powder and salt.

    How to make Mexican Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the potatoes on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake the potatoes until soft (about 40-50 minutes, depending on a size).

    2. Meanwhile, prepare the black bean salsa, by mixing all if the remaining ingredients (excluding guacamole) in a medium bowl. Set aside. Prepare guacamole, or use store-bought.

    3. When baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and cut into two pieces. Sprinkle with salt to taste, and carefully mash the flesh with the fork.

    Variation Ideas

    Black Bean Salsa | Swap out the black beans with pinto beans, or use fresh corn instead of canned, etc. There are many ways you can swap or add in other ingredients to help elevate the flavor.

    Onion |Swap the red onion with a sweet onion or even a yellow onion for an alternative flavor. You can skip this ingredient, if you are not an onion fan. 🙂

    Jalapeno | If you want to ramp up the heat, dice up a fresh jalapeno and add it to the black bean salsa. It will help to spice up the dish quite a bit.

    How To Store And Meal Prep

    If you like to meal prep, go right ahead with this loaded potato! I have whipped this up and used it for quick lunches or dinners down the line.

    What I recommend doing is storing your sweet potato in one container, and then the bean and corn salad in another. That way you can reheat your potato, then top with the cold salad mix and guacamole.

    How to Make Homemade Guacamole

    Making homemade guacamole is so simple. Just cut your avocado up, and make sure to remove the pit. Put the flesh in a bowl, add in some lime juice and salt. Mash with a fork to the texture you like. Toss in fresh tomatoes, cumin, onions, and cilantro!

      We served this to a group of 40 people and it was a huge hit. Each person had a full sweet potato even though the recipe calls for half. We served it with a side of cilantro/lime rice.
